❦ 001 ❦ Video ❦
[After a long morning of wandering the gray city, slipping from district to district, god-house to god-house to get an idea of the kind of place this really is - and nothing to indicate that there will be any sudden return trips to No.6, Nezumi settles onto a shadowed bench and pulls his cloak low enough to obscure his features further.
The technology was too much like that of No. 6's, which means that for all this talk of 'gods' there was a high probability that they contained some method of voice printing or tracing technology. Reason enough to be loathe to use it.
Even so, he wants answers. Needs to see how these jesters and fools, these elite, these soldier and self-deluded saviors would respond. And honestly... better to use that then have to actually put on a smile and act the part face-to-face with nameless strangers.
Which is why he pulls up the video and speaks rather abruptly, his voice flat, slightly clipped, the tone expertly altered to not sound distinctively male or female.]
So am I really the only one wondering when the platitudes of generosity will give way to demands and threat? Or will you all be content to sit there in your respective dens of iniquity and assume that the only thing they really want of us is to bring them the benign gifts of 'color' and 'life' to their precious Holy City?
[A beat.]
How long, do you suppose, before they start purging those voices of malcontent?
